Gloria McIntosh said she and the little girl were on a walk when the dog attacked. McIntosh showed CBS 2 the injuries she was recovering from Monday night.

McIntosh told us she was bitten twice in the legs by what she believes was a pit bull.

She said she panicked and tried to shield her granddaughter from the dog after it charged at them from a neighbor's house.
